1. One down. n/t

[Demobrat]

2. Yeah, there's good news.

Now hopefully all the dipshits who would have voted for the terminator will stay home.

[Clete]

30. Now the bad news.

Tonight on the local LA news he held a new's conference and said that he would announce whether or not he would run at the end of this week for sure. Sigh.

[HFishbine]

3. Great!

I wouldn't want to have to boycott T4 through T99.

[Sushi_lover]

4. He'll be back

I had to say it. :)

Sadly, he'll be back. We can't get rid of disgraced Republicans. He's just taking time to let revelations about his Nazi heritage sink in.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

5. Nazi's:

"It's not a tumah"

[stopthegop]

7. do you have a link about a Nazi heritage?

I'd like to see that...

[Sushi_lover]

12. sorry. I don't. apologies

I read where his dad was Austrian military but cannot cite sources.

[stopthegop]

13. anything about him? or just his ancestor(s)? n/t

.

[Sushi_lover]

17. Easy research

I hate doing other folks research. Get thee to Google News.

His dad was a Nazi officer.

20. thank you...

how does that disqualify him? JFK's grandfather was a rum runner (not to compare that to being a Nazi)...who cares?

[Sushi_lover]

21. It doesn't disqualify him

The Republicans embrace their Nazi heritage. They just try not to flaunt it so much. The pictures of Arnold in Nazi Youth uniform might be a bit much.

Edited for correct spelling of "flaunt"

[stopthegop]

23. thank you for replying...

have a good evening

[Sushi_lover]

27. No sweat. P.S.

Bush's Nazi heritage (his grandfather's banking relationship with the Nazi empire) didn't seem to hurt him much politically, so there's hope yet for Ahnold.

[beanball]

29. Who cares

I care, you shi-hea-.

[Fixated]

18. ...

Salon.com mentioned it, it's legit.

[onehandle]

6. He never was going to run...

This was FREE publicity for T3.

Seriously. I was never worried.

[Emboldened Chimp]

24. That's a good point

never thought about the tie-in to the movie. There's always a damned tie-in somewhere...

[neuvocat]

8. If its true then the pukes are in a load of trouble.

He's the only candidate that could possibly win against Davis.

[Snow]

15. Riordan could win.....

We do remember that Davis shellacked Riordan in the primary season so he could face Simon in the main elections?

[Peachhead22]

9. Is Arianna Huffington running?

I think Davis is toast regardless of who else runs. If there isn't a Dem or an acceptible Indipendent the 'Pubs win by default. Friggin Issa might win. :mad:

That would be the most cynical thing I think I've ever seen. Financing signature gathering so he can be the replacement. Quite literally buying himself the office.

[Capn Sunshine]

22. REFUSE TO LET DAVIS BE TOAST

I dont care how good/bad he is , ther is NO WAY I'M LETTING A FREAKING MINORITY DICTATE THEY CAN OVERTURN AN ELECTION, which is REALLY what this is about. Its a national plan by the right wing. Now this infection has spread to Wisconsin.


Don't believe me ?: Read about the strategy here:

10. He was their best hope . . . things are looking better for Davis.

Davis just might pull this off.

[GalleryGod]

11. He's Running in '06

Take it to DEEEEE BAHHHHHNNNNK!
Asswipe,Nazi,Weightlifter.:nuke:

19. The only thing I know about Arnold

is that he wants after school programs. And if I'm not mistaken, that's usually all he talks about.

If he became Governor, he would meet the same fate as Jesse Ventura. He would quickly find out he's way over his head by assuming the Governorship.

[cboy4]

14. You mean there are repukes

who AREN'T interested in getting involved with a crooked election?!?

[nolabels]

16. Hell if he keeps this up I might even see another one his movies !

:toast:

[Capn Sunshine]

26. Link to Republicans against the recall

http://www.republicansagainsttherecall.org/

SOME pukes recognize this right wing scheme to be ultimately destructive to their cause.......

[Sushi_lover]

25. I am glad he's not running. I live in a "Total Recall" world.

"Total Recall" is a great movie for those of us concerned about government intrusion and oppressive government warlords.

Total Recall was cool the way Arnold circumvented the information matrix and eventually defeated it. Fight the power.

[tjdee]

28. MARIA SHRIVER. Period.

I knew she wouldn't let him do it. She's a Democrat, a Kennedy for pete's sake, and I don't think she's happy with the recall in the slightest.

I agree with onehandle, who said above that all the hoopla served the purpose of getting his name in the news so that people would see T3.

I would have been floored if he announced a run this cycle.

[Robin Hood]

31. I told my wife this last night.

He won't run unless he has a 90--100% chance of winning. Who else wants some?!!

[Snellius]

32. If Arianna debated Arnold, would anyone understand them?

Arnold: "I vant to be Governor!"
Arianna: "No. I vant to be Governor!"

Maybe they'd need a translator.
